I Conquer the World For My Duke - C83

Bai Zheng stared at Feng Linyuan for a long while before her lips trembled: “Swear, you will definitely wake up and marry me.”

Feng Linyuan solemnly nodded: “I swear, I will definitely wake up.”

“Marry me.” Bai Zheng emphasized each word.

“Zheng, you know that even if I wake up, I won’t be able to live for long …” Feng Linyuan laughed bitterly.

“Swear that you will wake up, live well, and marry me. You said you would protect me for the rest of my life. ” Bai Zheng stubbornly refused to give in.

Feng Linyuan looked at Bai Zheng, and the two of them stared at each other, in a deadlock.

In the end, Feng Linyuan helplessly sighed and said in a low voice, “Alright.”

Bai Zheng stared at Feng Linyuan without blinking. Then, she slowly put down the hand that she was blocking.

Feng Linyuan swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Bai Zheng stared closely at Feng Linyuan, only to see that not long after she swallowed the medicine, Feng Linyuan’s forehead started to sweat profusely.

Bai Zheng immediately pulled him down and laid him down, then took a thin blanket and gently placed it on Feng Linyuan’s body. However, Feng Linyuan’s eyes were still closed, his brows were knitted from start to end, and his lips started to exude a green and purple hue.

It must have hurt. Bai Zheng bit her lips and continued to wipe it with her handkerchief.

The current Feng Linyuan felt as if his whole body was in excruciating pain. A wave of fury was burning from his throat all the way to his internal organs, as if it was going to tear him apart.

It was as if someone had set a fire in his chest that was constantly burning, but there seemed to be a ball of cotton stuck at his mouth and nose, blocking his breathing. He could not even take a breath of air even after exerting all his strength.

Bai Zheng looked at Feng Linyuan’s expression and his entire heart tensed up.

A multitude of pain welled up from the bottom of her heart. She could not help but raise her hand and grab Feng Linyuan’s hand as she spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Feng Linyuan, you must endure. You must endure. You just promised to marry me and protect me, and then you intend to go back on your word? It was you who said that marrying me will dissolve your fate … ”

Feng Linyuan clenched his teeth, his entire body trembling, as though he was about to lose consciousness. But when he held Bai Zheng’s hand, he completely restrained his strength and didn’t use any strength.

He had been sweating, and his body was cold even in the charred room.

“Are you cold? Are you very cold?” Bai Zheng held Feng Linyuan’s hand, and felt that it was getting colder and colder. She looked at the trembling Feng Linyuan, and saw his pale face.

Bai Zheng sat on the side of the bed, bent down, and pulled Feng Linyuan into her embrace.

“You promised, you will marry me, and if you go back on your word, I will capture you and bring you back to the Underworld, Feng Linyuan, you won’t be able to escape …”

Bai Zheng kept on talking to wake Feng Linyuan up. The arms around each other tightened, and the two figures intertwined like vines around a tree trunk.

It was like a weak light that was emitted from the darkness, causing one’s heart to tremble.

Feng Linyuan’s consciousness became more and more unfocused. He was in too much pain. It was as if thousands of ants were gnawing all over his body, and his limbs and bones were in unbearable pain.

In a trance, he seemed to have arrived at a familiar city.

“Yuan, that little brat Zhuo Yi has come to disturb the peace of my Great Zhou again. This time, the two of us will beat him until he can’t recover, and will completely withdraw back into his Xiliang!” A hearty laugh came from the person in front of him. That person was dressed in a military uniform and had a head full of black hair that was tied high to his head. He looked at the person with a spirited expression.

“Father!”

The scene changed, several figures could be seen within the military tent, their silhouettes reflected in the candlelight.

“Yuan’er, the matter of the rations is up to you. Zhuo Yi is a cruel and merciless man, he has always been swift and decisive in battles. If we want to win, we have to catch him off guard. ”

With that, he turned his head with a smile and said to the people behind him, “Liang Sheng, He Dong, Lin Qiao, quickly go and rest. There will be another tough battle tomorrow.”

The three of them clasped their hands and said, “Yes.” Just as he was about to leave, one of them walked up to him and looked at him with eyes full of gratification: “The young general is old now and can fight on his own! “Let’s make an agreement today. When tomorrow’s victory returns, Liang Sheng will drink three big bowls of wine with the young general!”

“Uncle Sheng …”

The face of the man in front of him suddenly turned blurry. The candle flickered as he appeared on the battlefield.

“Young General, quickly leave!” “The young general …” The voice that was chasing behind him suddenly stopped, and he abruptly turned around.

“Xiao Ning!”

The familiar face in front of him suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood. He lowered his head in shock, not knowing when a sword had pierced through the body of the person in front of him.

“Hurry up!” With the last of his strength, the man pushed him hard, pushing him into another scene.

The hooves of the horses trampled and the swords and spears collided. He stood in the midst of a desperate battle.

“Father?”

Suddenly, from afar, he saw a familiar figure pierced through by a longsword.

“Father!” His eyes looked as if they were about to split.

“Yuan, the barrier of Great Zhou is created by every single warrior of my Changping Army using their own flesh and blood. We cannot fall, if we fall, our Great Zhou will open up, and our citizens will definitely be displaced. Every single person in the Changping Army, even if they die, they have to stand in front of the commoners and die standing there! ”

He watched as one sword after another surged forward and stabbed into his body. The dark black colored armor on his body was already dyed red with blood. There was almost no place for him to draw his sword now.

Even so, he still stood there.

He stood there the whole time without falling.

“Young General, quickly leave!”

“When the victory returns tomorrow, Liang Sheng will definitely drink three big bowls of wine with the young general!”

“Yuan’er, this time, us two will definitely defeat that brat Zhuo Yi and withdraw back to his Xiliang!”

“…”

The current Feng Linyuan felt as though he was walking in darkness, drifting endlessly. The voice that continuously resounded in his ears was so familiar that it made his heart bleed.

Where did you go…

Father, Uncle Sheng, Xiao Ning … I miss you guys so much …

He crouched down. His head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split open.

These images and sounds were like a nightmare that had been lingering in his mind for the past seven years.

“Ah —” he roared.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zheng’s face was both wet and dry. Because of the constant talking, her lips became more bitter.

She hugged the Feng Linyuan who had completely lost consciousness tightly.

Suddenly, Feng Linyuan’s pale face turned sinister, as if he had met something painful. Sweat started to gather on his forehead, and he started to struggle.

Seeing that, Bai Zheng hugged Feng Linyuan tightly and placed his head on her chest.

“Feng Linyuan, you can hear me right? “You promised me that you would wake up and marry me, that you would avenge the souls of the wronged. You must hold on, you must hold on …”
